Chapter 414: Old Planet
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mars was a red planet. It was similar in size to the blue planet, and the surface was far richer in iron ore than the blue planet.
At this moment, more than 1,000 temporary construction sites had already been built on the surface, as well as densely packed temporary campsites. Resources were mined, the keel of the spaceships were built, and adaptive training was underway…
The dark creatures had already disappeared. The entire Mars was under the control of humans, and all the work was carried out in an orderly manner.
A week ago, the main force of the human spaceship fleet took off from the blue planet and crossed a distance of more than 100 million kilometers to meet up with the three city-level spaceships.
The spaceship fleet had a silent journey the entire time. It was not as exciting as they had expected, and there was only a quiet and sad farewell.
Even though it was confirmed that the counterattack of the black tide had been pushed back on the other side of the space-travel passage, the higher-ups of the humans were still determined to go to a new planet.
However, the day that the news that the space-travel passage was about to disappear forever was made public, there was a small disagreement within the spaceship fleet.
Among the billions of people, there was a small group from every country that had gathered to speak up and communicate with the higher-ups of the humans.
They voluntarily gave up on the chance to go to the new planet and chose to stay on the blue planet.
“New planet.” This hinted at a new hope. The general opinion was that the human spaceship fleet was heading to a new planet that could support life.
“Old planet.” At some point, there were more and more voices from the people who no longer referred to the place where humans came from as the ‘blue planet’, but the ‘old planet’.
The word “old” contained many meanings, and everyone had a different understanding of it.
Some people thought that the black tide’s repeated activities had directly or indirectly caused the terrain on the blue planet to change drastically. The original name felt a little awkward, but it was more suitable to use the word “old planet”.
Some people thought that Chen Yiming, an unprecedented personage, had led all the elites of humanity and the technological achievements of the entire civilization to leave the blue planet and head to a new planet.
The blue planet was similar to the dynasties that had left behind a short period of glory in history. In the end, they could not withstand the tide of the era and turned into records in history books.
Some people thought that the ‘new’ and ‘old’ represented the new humans and the old humans. The new humans would go to a new star that was more suitable for development, and the old humans would have no future if they stayed behind. They would also face the possibility of the black tide descending again at any time.
The difference between ‘new’ and ‘old’ was also a metaphor for the difference between the two sides. As time passed, the average martial arts level of the humans on the old planet would definitely fall far behind that of the humans on the new planet.
…
On the blue planet, in Jiangnan province in the Daxia Kingdom, A space ripple similar to a radar was emitted from afar. The tracking factions related to the star spirits would not be able to arrive so quickly.
With the protection of the three dragon gods and more than 100 terrifying creatures, the human spaceships were still on their way back to the blue planet. Chen Yiming used the space anchor to jump back first, preparing to put down the core of the world he had obtained.
At this moment, Chen Yiming was walking alone on the hot ground, crushing the rubble under his feet.
“Eh?”
There were some changes from the last time he left. The human spaceship fleet had already headed to Mars, but some cities were operating again.
There were rumbling diesel generators, houses with high-tech materials, and figures appearing on the streets picking up recyclable and reusable items, and so on.
The city was no longer dead silent. Instead, it was filled with people again, even though it was pitifully deserted compared to before.
Soon, Chen Yiming communicated briefly with the spiritual figure on Mars.
It turned out that the news that the space-travel passage was about to be permanently closed had spread. Some humans who were unwilling to go to the new planet chose to take a small transport spaceship and bring a portion of their survival equipment back to the blue planet.
“Most of the humans have already left the blue planet, causing there to be very few living creatures left on this planet. Therefore, will the black tide ignore this planet?”
He thought about it. From the perspective of weighing the cost and benefits, it made sense. Perhaps the remaining humans were really not worth the black tide occupying this planet.
At this moment, a small building in front of him that had been deformed by the high temperature suddenly tilted to the side. The reason was that the steel bars in the pillars had melted and broken, and the structure of the entire house was out of balance.
“Crack, crack, crack!”
Hasty footsteps sounded, followed by the figure of a 13 or 14-year-old girl rushing out of the building that was about to collapse.
She was wearing a loose training robe, and her face was rather young and chubby. Her hair was tied into a ponytail, and her entire body was drenched in sweat.
When the little girl rushed out of the building a few meters away, the building behind her could not withstand it anymore and collapsed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
This dust was mixed with the scorching air. It was extremely uncomfortable to breathe it into one’s lungs, and there was a burning and suffocating feeling.
“A 13 or 14-year-old girl who has undergone nine transformations and is a warrior candidate. Such martial arts talent is already relatively rare.”
Chen Yiming was surprised that this little girl had not chosen to follow the humans to the new planet. Instead, she had stayed behind on the blue planet.
It had to be known that treasures that could change the fate of the entire human race would be placed on the core spaceship of the Daxia Kingdom.
If she knew that her martial arts talent was not good and was afraid of the uncertainty of the new planet, it was understandable that she would choose to stay behind on the blue planet. However, this little girl was clearly not in such a situation.
Just as Chen Yiming was about to take a few steps forward and ask the girl why she had made such a choice, the girl quickly retreated as if she had seen a bad man. Then, she turned around and ran away.
“There’s only a difference of five to six years. It shouldn’t be that bad!”
Chen Yiming understood the little girl’s gaze and touched his chin with a smile.
On second thought, his body was much taller and stronger than that of an ordinary human even without the giant transformation. His muscles were extremely big and strong, which was a little scary.
This was a perfect body that could easily fight a god who had mastered the power of the world in close combat when he was at the fusion realm.
…
Not long after, a middle-aged couple in martial arts training robes led a group of seven to eight young people out. The girl who had met Chen Yiming earlier was also among them. The group returned to another building in the city.
The building was shaped like a hemisphere, and its surroundings had been flattened. The remnants of the original building could vaguely be seen. On the surface, there was a coating made of special materials, almost completely blocking out the high temperature outside.
Chen Yiming happened to catch a glimpse of this scene and muttered to himself, “So they’re family! As long as they weren’t forced to leave for some reason, it’s fine.”
Whether it was him or the higher-ups of the Daxia Kingdom, they had never expressed any intention of forcing all humans to go to the new planet together. It was indeed true that the road ahead was filled with uncertainties. Staying on the blue planet might not be a bad choice.
A gust of hot wind blew past.
Chen Yiming looked up at the sky. It seemed that the will of the sun was a little more active than before. This wasn’t a good thing for the blue planet, which had already become a high-temperature environment.
“It’s best if it returns to what it was before, when the temperature in most of the world ranges from around -20 degrees Celsius to about 35 or 36 degrees Celsius.”
After breaking through to the star condensation realm, the level of energy he had mastered had also changed from the power of nature to the power of the world. He had the ability to easily change the environment of a world.
The power of nature was borrowed from heaven and earth. In essence, it was only controlled by the user. No matter how much control one had, it was not a power that truly belonged to oneself.
The power of the world was divided into two situations. One was from the inner world in one’s body, and the other was similar to the power of nature coming from one’s body.
The power of the world from the inner world was equivalent to absorbing the energy from the outside world into the inner world. It was compressed and condensed in the inner world, and then assimilated by the will.
The power of the world outside one’s body was formed by the projection of one’s will. It was equivalent to a cage between heaven and earth, and was similar to a world where the stars existed. The energy between heaven and earth was controlled by one’s will.
Because each portion of the power of the world carried a unique will, it was completely their own power.
In other words, compared to the power of nature, because of the enhancement from the will, be it strength, activity, resistance, or so on, the power of the world far exceeded the power of nature.
“Buzz.”
When Chen Yiming projected his will across the entire blue planet,
the shadow of a giant that covered the sky appeared out of thin air. The world began to shake continuously, and shock waves swept through the air.
This was the reason why the star condensation realm was also called the god realm. One could change the world just by relying on their will, and could control the world with the power of their will.
Then, under Chen Yiming’s command, a portion of the light and heat left behind between the ground and the sky was compressed into the depths of the core.
At this moment, the temperature outside the surface of the entire blue planet suddenly dropped to 25 degrees. This was the same all over the world.
However, it would not remain the same forever. It would automatically adjust according to the geographical environment. In some areas, the temperature would rise, and in others, the temperature would drop.
“Oh my god!”
In the spaceship in orbit around Mars, the experts and staff in charge of monitoring the blue planet exploded on the spot.
Everyone was dumbfounded as they stared blankly at the rows of changing numbers on the work screen, as well as the sphere in the middle that displayed the temperature.
In the row after row of numbers, each row belonged to a country. At this moment, the numbers had all changed to 25, indicating that the global temperature had dropped to 25 degrees.
The color of the sphere in the middle changed from dark red to a light red.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
Immediately after, an alarm rang. The temperature fluctuation on the blue planet was too high, and the computer gave an early warning that an unknown abnormality was happening on the blue planet.
However, no one cared about the alarm. They quickly turned to the largest screen hanging in the middle of the surveillance department.
This screen was showing real-time scenes from all over the blue planet. The satellites were filming them from space. At this moment, every scene captured the shadow of a giant.
The shadow of the giant was too big. Its size was on the same level as the planet. It was impossible to imagine it.
“What!”
Someone’s breath was stuck in their throat for a long time.
The sudden change almost frightened them to death. Although the blue planet was already an old planet, no one wanted the place where humans originated to be destroyed.
“The global temperature suddenly dropped, and the shadow of a giant appeared.”
After a while, they eliminated the possibility that an unknown enemy had descended. Everyone thought of Chen Yiming. Other than him, no one else had the ability to change the world.
And the situation was exactly like that.
After taking the initiative to cause a change on the blue planet, the spiritual figure communicated with the higher-ups in the spaceship on behalf of Chen Yiming and informed them about restoring the environment on the blue planet.
With a thought, the world changed according to his will!
What kind of power was this? All the higher-ups of the human race were stunned and took a long time to accept it.
After all, Chen Yiming had always relied on his powerful body to fight. His opponents at the level of the gods rarely used such methods.
Little did they know that the power of his will could change the world. A large-scale move like this was not very useful among those at the level of gods. It was mostly used to bully those below the level of gods.
…
The sky was clear.
After the temperature dropped, the clouds began to form again. Immediately after, the world changed. It suddenly turned from sunny to gloomy. At the same time, countless bolts of lightning appeared in the air.
Water was the source of life. Chen Yiming tried to replenish some water on the dried up blue planet and bring the sea level back to its original height, allowing the rivers to regain their vitality.
Such a scene was equivalent to turning a dead planet into a planet suitable for life.
“It’s raining! It’s raining!”
Soon, with the sound of thunder, the entire blue planet was covered in heavy rain. Some people in the city ran out of their houses in the rain, their faces filled with excitement.
The high temperature of 60 to 70 degrees Celsius was not impossible to overcome.
The humans who stayed behind on the blue planet had houses made of high-tech materials to live in. They could raise some high-temperature mutant beasts as food.
They could also dig through the underground rivers buried deep underground to replenish their water supply.
However, it was better to have a comfortable environment to have more confidence in their long-term life.
For example, the long and unknown journey to the new planet was not as safe as the security brought by the permanent closure of the space-travel passage.
Just as everything was changing for the better on the blue planet, a solar flare erupted, as if it was welcoming an active period. It was about to release a large amount of light and heat to the solar system and beyond.
At the same time, an oppressive aura began to gather in the space outside the blue planet. A will that also had the ability to change the world was about to descend on the blue planet from hundreds of millions of kilometers away.
Seeing this, Chen Yiming used the space anchor to locate the coordinates and jumped out of the blue planet, appearing in outer space.
“Is this because I interfered and changed the planetary environment in the solar system, causing the will of the sun to feel invaded and angered? Is it going to attack me?”
None of the world’s wills he had come into contact with seemed to have a good temper. Could it be that star spirits were generally extremely easily angered by intruders?
However, things were different now. Perhaps the will of the sun had gone a little further among the gods, but Chen Yiming was no longer at the level of the fusion realm.
They both had the power of the world and had the strength of their wills. The devouring demon had been assimilated and devoured by the will of the sun, but that didn’t mean Chen Yiming couldn’t fight against it.
“Boom!”
Soon, Chen Yiming unleashed the power of his will in space, blocking the stream of light that was dying the starry sky red, preventing it from moving forward.
“I’ve never lost when it comes to a battle of attrition. Besides, the battlefield is not far from us, and you need to cross hundreds of millions of kilometers to project your will. Because of the distance, let’s see how long you can last.”
Chen Yiming cursed under his breath.
A dividing line that spanned an unknown distance appeared. Near the sun, the starry sky gradually seemed to be burning.
The area near the blue planet was peaceful. The environment on the blue planet was still improving due to the heavy rain.
The area near the blue planet was peaceful. The environment on the blue planet was still improving due to the heavy rain.
The appearance of the sun when it was angry had appeared not too long ago, and was still deeply engraved in the minds of every human.
At that time, Chen Yiming had been chased by the flame dragons and had been burned to a crisp. Furthermore, just the aftershock had greatly changed the geographical environment on the blue planet from an ice age to a high-temperature environment.
It was clear that in the solar system, the sun’s will was the true ruler. No planet could withstand its anger.
“Ever since the otherworld invaded the blue planet, till the threat of the black tide, even the will of the sun in the solar system, which should have been our ally, has also…”
The heads of the countries wished they could give the order to set off on the spot.
If they did not stay here, they would naturally find another place to stay. The space in front of them was no longer a good place. They might as well find another suitable and stable planet.
As time passed, the battle between the wills in space continued. The aftershock gradually began to affect the other areas of the solar system.
For example, on a planet that happened to be on the same side as the battlefield, the temperature on the surface began to rise violently, and the entire planet gradually turned redder and redder.
Some of the asteroid belts were also affected. Due to the aftershock, most of them burned up completely. There were even terrifying creatures that had broken out of the blockade earlier that were now exposed in outer space.
“Why would there be such a conflict?”
The asteroid that the huge eye was hiding in was about to disappear. It immediately panicked, but it did not dare to use its spatial ability, afraid that it would be discovered by the bugs that could travel through space.
The remaining power of the black tide in the solar system, the dark creatures, were hidden away. However, no one knew if the bugs that were used as surveillance had left.
“The level of the energy fluctuations is already comparable to the world-level formation that was set up in the past. Who is fighting against the will of the sun?”
Although the huge eye was shocked, it did not have the ability or dare to go close to investigate.
In the face of a battle at this level, those at the fusion realm could easily be destroyed just like the asteroids.
It had no choice. The huge eye could only rely on its speed in the air to nervously fly to the other side of the solar system where the battlefield was.
At the same time, it did not dare to fly too quickly, afraid that it would be noticed if it caused too much of a commotion.
Soon, the huge eye’s complaints could be heard in the void. “The human spaceships have been docked for so long. When will they set off?”
Like the huge eye, there were many other terrifying creatures that had broken out of the blockade. For example, the divine turtle carrying an island had shrunk itself and turned into a huge asteroid.
The solar system was very wide. When one’s aura was completely restrained and they did not move at all, it was very difficult to tell that an asteroid was fake across such a vast space, and that there were terrifying creatures at the fusion realm hiding there.
This was especially true when the shadow mouth on the blockade had not appeared again in outer space for a long time after the battle with Chen Yiming.
The terrifying creatures watching in secret, such as the huge eye and the divine turtle, were all waiting for Chen Yiming to go ahead first. If nothing happened, they would also rush out of the solar system.
